Tonight was the SBFM welcome barbeque. While the new DTS students are off in the woods on the most challenging of icebreakers- a challenging get-to-know-you camp out- my class is at our school director's house, having a barbeque! Its our way of extending a warm welcome to the students, as well as providing a more subtle environment for getting to know one another. The night features lots of fellowship, local styled food, and a time of sharing our testimonies- where God has brought us and the season in which we now find ourselves. Tonight was a sweet one, for sure- our students readily engaging one another, being wonderfully open about the season they're in, and eagerly ministering to one another when (following our time of sharing) we moved into a time of prayer. I am SO stoked to see what God can do in a group of young people already so quick to engage Him and one another.
Getting started with fresh pineapple, california roll, and some local raw fish dishes called poke (Poe-keh). Myself and the director's wife ( a genuine local girl) could have eaten the entire pound of spicy ahi poke ourselves!
